摘要
PCSK9 enhances LDL cholesterol (LDL-c) levels by escorting the liver LDL receptor (LDLR) to endosomes and lysosomes for degradation. PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies and RNA-antisense formulations are effective in reducing LDL cholesterol in patients. The recent structural identification of a novel pocket in PCSK9 paves the way to the future development of orally active small-molecule hypocholesterolemic drugs.
